Contemporary Guitar Method
An Organic And Efficient Approach
"Pickin' six strings can be a lifetime of pure enjoyment and satisfaction. Having the right guidance can make all the difference as you navigate this vast world."
My mission is to pass along this thing of ours with a proven and practical method. I'm a lifelong musician and a proud alumni of Berklee College of Music. A 20yr teacher, I ran a successful private instruction business in the competitive Southern California market and have since turned it into a thriving online studio. I work with students of all types and am happy to help you realize your goals!
Private LessonS
Contact me anytime for one on one private lessons over Zoom. Students are provided PDF's of all my instructional material like tunes, chord charts, concepts etc. You will also receive a personalized HW from each lesson to keep everything on track. My curriculum goes from 1st day beginners all the way up to advanced playing, however each player's needs are different. So I tailor my instruction to best serve the individual.

Too often the approach to guitar lessons can become a "Stairway To Nowhere" as I like to say. It happens to students of every instrument, where things just don't stick. Usually this is because people don't actually understand what they're doing and the process eventually becomes unsustainable. Jumping from song to song becomes like getting a fish, but never learning how to fish. The real value in a teacher is how they teach you to think on the instrument. I present the instrument like any other craft or trade, explaining the theory and science of why things work. In this way my students are set on a course of self-discovery and learning.
